RESTAURANT SPOTLIGHT
/A FEAST FOR THE SENSES
CinCin’s Modern Italian Cuisine
Pass through the wrought-iron gates and up the flight of narrow stairs at 1154 Robson and you will emerge to find CinCin, an award-winning Italian-themed restaurant.
CinCin’s executive chef Andrew Richardson.
Executive chef Andrew Richardson's modern Italian cuisine is prepared over a Grillworks Infierno, a two-metre behemoth of stainless steel that features a massive grill and rotisserie – where the freshest market fish and prime cuts of meat are deliciously seared over fruitwood charcoal.
Andrew believes that the essence of Italian cuisine is cooking in rhythm with the seasons and allowing fresh, local ingredients to shine. Such is his passion for the subject that he has authored a cookbook, CinCin: Wood-Fired Cucina (which you can order here). Andrew’s book showcases his signature wood-oven cooking techniques and features traditional Italian dishes married with seasonal west coast flavour.
Did we mention the awards? Far too many to list here, but there have been numerous Georgia Straight and Vancouver Magazine citations, and awards from Gourmet World, Trip Advisor, and Open Table — just to give you an idea.
CinCin has assembled a great pan-Canadian team of industry pros. While we don’t have room here to list all of them and their many credits, we must give a shout-out to wine director Shane Taylor from PEI, assistant wine director Jamie Lauder, and restaurant manager Owen Knowlton, who both hail from Ontario.

Buon appetito!!
